I hope the forgiveness program goes through. I could never hope to pay off my student debt otherwise as things are going.
Since the pause started, I have been aggressively saving to pay off my entire balance, with forgiveness not being part of the equation. Of course, I would be much happier if $10k were forgiven, but if that does not happen, I am ready to pay off the $25k balance I have left on the day payments resume.
I am definitely sick and tired of seeing these loans continue to age. I just want them gone at this point, never to occupy space in my thoughts ever again.

Haha! I’m a bargaining chip!
Why wouldn’t he just extend them again? Like it could literally be a presidential platform: “if I win I extend loan forgiveness”.
… like politicians lie all the time. Why not this time?
